Pizza Hut Australia’s hot dog stuffed crust is exactly what it sounds like and comes with free mustard and ketchup drizzle. ### Japan: Kit-Kat Sandwich  First Kitchen Many people love Kit-Kats, but the candy bar looks [slightly unappealing](http://time.com/3753904/kit-kat-sandwich-japan/) when garnished with whipped cream and orange peel between two slices of white bread. Japanese fast food chain First Kitchen offers the strange creation for a mere 220 yen ($1.81). ### McDonald’s Japan: Gracoro Burger  McDonald's Japan During select winters at certain locations, McDonald’s has been known to [roll out the McRib](http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/10/17/mcrib-mcdonalds-promotions-fast-food-restaurants/17450297/) in America. [During some seasons in Japan](http://kotaku.com/5959406/at-mcdonalds-japan-these-special-burgers-sure-arecreamy), McDonald’s offers the Gracoro Burger — which has a breadcrumb-crusted patty made out of macaroni, shrimp and a creamy white sauce. ### Pizza Hut Korea: Star Edge Pizza Real as it is terrifying, this [pizza](http://time.com/3512996/pizza-hut-korea-star-edge-pizza/) comes topped with surf and turf (shrimp, calamari, bacon, steak and sausage) and is surrounded by a crust packed with dessert creams (cranberry or cinnamon apple nut and cream cheese filling). ### Burger King Japan: Kuro Pearl Burger  Burger King Japan Burger King went to the dark side.
